A deaf lecture focusing on the role of deaf people in the Holocaust was held at UVA last Thursday, October 23rd. It was attended by a group of MLWGS ASL students.
The main reasons for the trip were to “introduce students to deaf culture, be part of a deaf audience, [and] learn about deaf people in the Holocaust,” said Ms. Brenda Thornton, ASL teacher.
ASL student, Kathleen Webb (’10), said “Most people don’t think about deaf people and the Holocaust, [but] it was cool. The signer presented really well.” According to Ms. Thornton, similar trips are planned for the future.
